Assos Ancient City, one of the most beautiful spots of Çanakkale, has a perfect sea and a unique view of Lesbos Island. Assos, which was dominated by the Greek, Macedonian and Persian empires in its history dating back to the 6th century BC, is considered sacred for Christians. The Temple of Athena is one of the most important buildings in the city, which is attributed to holiness due to the visit of the missionary Paul, the founder of the Pauline Church. Located at the highest point of the historical city, the building is the first Doric temple built in Anatolia in the Archaic Age. It is a great pleasure to visit the temple built for Athena, the patron goddess of Assos, and watch the sunset.

One of the most enjoyable activities to do in Assos is to enjoy the sea and the sun. You can choose Kadırga and Sivrice bays for swimming, as recommended by the people of Çanakkale.
